The Man from China Episode Fifteen

Chin Cheng and the villagers who escaped from the prison with him commenced their training inside the evil forest. Chin Cheng still cannot remember many things. His brain was still very much empty like that of a new born baby. But one thing he does know was that it is good to fight for people who could not fight for themselves. One thing he still possessed was the determination to make a difference. Because of the loss of memory, most of his skill sets were gone. Before now, he knew how to fight like Jackie Chang, but all that were gone from his head.

However, there were some things that came to him naturally and as the training were going on, he started remembering some of the skills he had before. One major purposed Chin Cheng served for the villagers was to motivate them to fight back. He told them not to just fold their hands and allow strangers take over their village. He motivated them greatly in the evil forest and they followed him religiously. He encouraged them not to give up their ancestral lands no matter what happened. His presence was all the villagers needed to fight the invaders.

Due to the fact that Chin Cheng was now in the open space where he was interacting with people and where he was busy, his memory started returning to him gradually. After three days in the forest, he started remembering how to fight like Jackie Chan. This was because he was watching as the villagers were training and getting ready for physical combat. He was the one who started training them on how to endure difficult conditions. He trained them on how to hide from the enemy and how to run a far distance without getting tired. The trainings were very tough but the villagers endured. It helped to open his brain and he remembered how he was trained when he was younger.

Chin Cheng did not tell any of the villagers that he had lost his memory. He did not want to tell them anything that would dampen their spirit because they have come to greatly depend on him for the impending war. He was their master strategist. If he told them that he was not feeling fine, they could become afraid and lost the zeal they have built over the past few days. So, as he noticed that he was remembering how to throw strategic punches, he kept it secret. He training in the forest, all his fighting skill sets returned to him.

"I think something is happening to me. I'm becoming able to do many things I didn't think I could do when we first came into this forest. It is happening like flashes of light in my brain.

Before we came into this forest, I was feeling like someone whose brain was wiped. However, as the physical combat training started, I remembered many things, including how to fight like a warrior. I'm fighting now like a trained warrior. The villagers may not have noticed but I know that something strange is happening to me. I will keep training so that I will keep remembering my fighting skill sets."

Chin Cheng said to himself. As they continued to train in the forest, the injury in his brain continued to heal and he continued to get better and better. Chin Cheng was becoming himself again, but there were many things he still couldn't remember.

The villagers trained with Chin Cheng for ten good days. They worked very hard. Every day, some men are sent into the village to go and bring food from far away farms where the bandits have not reached. That was how the villagers survived. Some are also sent to go and bring water. They did not lack yams at all. They had a lot of it. Many of them who know how to hunt also went around the forest to hunt for meat.

It was in the course of hunting that five of the villagers came across Adanna and the other Chinese people. They were shocked to see that Adanna was still alive. They remembered when she was banished from the village and they thought by now, she would have been dead. They were also surprised to see the Chinese workers in the forest.

"Adanna, you are still alive? You are lucky that you left the village. Something terrible has happened to our village. That is why we are in this forest. Some gunmen attacked our village and captured it. They killed so many people. A lot of the villagers have been scattered like a sheep without flock. But we are training to attack and recapture the village. Chin Cheng is the person training us. He is also in this forest with us. He is our leader and he has helped us so much." One of the hunters said to Adanna.

"Oh God! Where did the gunmen come from? So the entire village is in chaos?" Adanna asked tearfully.

"Yes. They almost wiped out the entire village. You are lucky that you are in the evil forest. Even the Chinese people here are lucky that they are no longer in the village. They would have been killed." The hunter said. He was holding a very big 'nchi' that they had captured.

"Where did you say Chin Cheng is? I want to see him." Adanna asked apprehensively. If there was anything that made her happy, it was the fact that her boyfriend was still alive.

"I said he is in this forest. You know the forest is very big, if not, you people would have heard our voices. We have been in this forest for ten days. We are training intensely to recapture the village. Without Chin Cheng, we wouldn't have made it this far. He is our leader. Let us go, we will take you people there." The hunter said to Adanna. Both Adanna and the Chinese workers followed the hunters to the training ground in the forest. After about one hour of walking, they arrived at the training ground. Adanna was the first to see Chin Cheng. She rushed with speed to meet him.

"Chin Cheng! Chin Cheng! I'm happy you are still alive." Adanna shouted as he hugged Chin Cheng. However, he was looking at him strangely.

"Who are you please? I don't know you." Chin Cheng said. He did not remember who she is.
